A Singapore-based private equity fund has become the first in the world to secure financing for private equities that is tied to sustainability improvement, reflecting the rising interest from the financing sector in factoring in the environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects...

Performance of the fund against these metrics will be assessed annually by B Analytics, and if predetermined targets are met, the interest rate will be reduced in the following year. ING did not disclose the rate of reduction.

"The potential for private capital to become more ESG- focused is quite significant," said Ms Cho, adding that the bank aims to promote"socially responsible behaviour" in the funds and fund managers financed by the bank, by incentivising their shareholders.
